Correspondence should be addressed to Miguel Cámara miguel.camara@nottingham.ac.ukBacteria can communicate with members of their own species and others to coordinate their behavior in response to cell density. This phenomenon, known as quorum sensing, relies on the production and sensing of one or more secreted signal molecules. A recent study identifies a complex quorum sensing network in the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae.
